Lecithin is a mixture of phospholipids (PL) containing PC, PE, and PI, as well as sphingolipids, F FA, and glyco-lipids. Functional properties of Lecithin like Emulsifying, Solubilization,,Wetting/instantizing,Lubrication and Release,Crystallization Control ,Complexing, Antispatter,stabilizer in ice-creams and antioxidant in oils and fats; and the applications in bakery and

DNA FINGERPRINTING

Medicinal plants have been used universally since ancient days to sustain health and to treat diseases. However, adulteration and use of specious materials as substitutes have become a major apprehension for users and industry for reasons of safety and efficacy. Therefore, authentication of medicinal plants is of utmost importance. Morphological, anatomical, chemical and DNA markers solve the problem by differentiating the genuine material from the adulterants, substitutes and spurious drugs.
